Hyperplasia of granulation tissue in the umbilical fossa

Granular tissue hyperplasia in the umbilical fossa is a polyp-like, fuchsia red granuloma formed by unstimulated wounds or frequent rubbing of unhealed wounds after the umbilical cord is broken. It is the size of rice grains to soybeans, has pus and bloody secretions, and is not easily cured. Excessive granulation tissue can be corroded with 10% silver nitrate or removed with sterile scissors to keep the area clean and heal quickly. Granular tissue hyperplasia in the umbilical fossa is a type of tissue proliferation that occurs after the umbilical cord is detached. It may also be caused by the connection of the intestine to the navel and bulging mucous membranes. Umbilical granuloma is very susceptible to infection and inflammation, and is an umbilical disease that requires immediate medical attention.
